TEHRAN (ANA)- Specialists at an Iranian firm has managed to find a new method to use nanocomposites to treat spent caustic discharged from refineries and petrochemical companies.
“We produce membrane contactors by using nanocomposite technology. Our technology is a novel technology in the world and we have some patents, PCT patents and US patents,” Hassan Farrokhzad, a director of Setaregan Noavar Sepehr Pars company, told ANA on the sidelines of the 14th International Nanotechnology Exhibition in Tehran.
“By this technology, we can introduce the gases inside the water and it is very useful for treatment of spent caustic which is a discharged liquid from refineries and petrochemical companies and we can treat this spent caustic in the normal and ambient temperature and it is one of the advantages of this technology compared to other technologies used in the US and Germany,” he added.
“We have plans to export our products but at the moment we are using this technology in the Iranian refineries and petrochemical companies," Farrokhzad noted.
The 14th International Nano Exhibition kicked off in Tehran on November 4 in the presence of companies active in the nanotechnology field.
As the biggest nano event in Iran, the 4-day exhibition is an opportunity to get to know about the latest achievements and developments in the field of nanotechnology.
Dozens of nanotechnological companies are present at this year's nano exhibition in various fields like oil and energy, health and health, water and environment, agriculture and packaging, automobile, paint and coating, construction, textiles, and advanced materials, and they are displaying their achievements.
The exhibition provides a suitable opportunity for technological cooperation between startups and activists of the country's innovation ecosystem in the way of commercialization of products.
